    So of all the accusations this is the only racist part?

    Yes from what I could tell you are right:

    That is the issue when you break it down to facts - there was one flawed comment made by a member of the family.
    Of which we don't know any context.

    And Meghan unfortunately found it very difficult especially as a new mum.

    But much of the undertone or interpretation of this interview on social media etc was and is generally about victimisation and race.
    Which the facts just do not back up. Simple.

    They wanted and wanted and didn't get their own way in the end and they feel that they have been treated badly so have lashed out.

    Harry made it clear it wasn't his grandfather, Prince Philip, and it was more than once.

    OK quick thought experiment what if Harry had married Britney Spears? Which of the accusations would have changed? I can only think of 2 base accusations that might.

    Apart from a inferred background of racism in her speech only 2/3 I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) were actually directly attributed to racism.

    1. Archie won't be a prince because he isn't white.
    2. Because Archie won't be a Prince we wont get protection.
    3. Someone who we wont identify in the Royal Family asked what shade the baby will be.

    1 & 2 have been proven to be based wholly on law not racism.

    3 I suspect the incident is known and it was more of a gauche remark than actual racism. Its also over a year old and a single incident. I am sure racist things have been said to Meghan mainly by the public but I would be amazed if Phil the Gaffe had not put his foot in it and indeed a few others as they are not the most diverse family. But I'm sure Harry has had the Ginger jokes.

    Riiight - all and sundry. Who rattled your cage? I teased vetran once about being bigotted and not very bright, but I don't think he's particularly racist.

    Following your tactic of attack is the best defence. You accused me of racism because I didn't like the Sussex's behaviour and one of them is BAME therefore in your eyes questioning their actions must be racist.

    As you based your decision on the colour of her skin not the facts as I was attempting to you therefore must be the racist. Simple really.

    Its the thing with the cancel culture if they don't agree with your questions (not even the answers) they accuse you of racism etc. to invalidate your opinions. It works for BLM, Sex & Race equality, Slavery, Mental health etc.
    OK. Well done.
